Anyone looking for the perfect stocking filler this Christmas has been offered some handy suggestions by our librarians.

Our Library team has produced a Top 10 list of the best books to buy this year.

Librarian Amy McKay said: “Books are a great stocking filler and giving them as presents at Christmas time encourages people to keep reading during the school holidays.

“We’ve come up with a list of books which we think will make great presents.

“It includes the Guiness Book of World Records which has been a favourite for many years and is popular even with people who aren’t keen readers because you can dip into it to new books such as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.”
